Starting from October 1st, Phobos Down will be 100% free on all supported platforms!
If you would still like to support my game development work, you can buy the game at 75% discount right now or you can wait until October and get it completely free.
The main reason for this change is very low sales. I never expected to make a profit but I wanted to learn Steam publishing and perhaps get some small compensation for my efforts. Currently, it's just not worth the required time and bureaucracy.
I'm very thankful for the people who bought the game so far and I hope you don't feel betrayed by this change.
I will not stop making games for good. In foreseeable future, I will continue working on my small games and likely releasing them for free.
